In an attempt to lower our monthly grocery bill, I have frozen a few extra meals in order have them ready to go on days I don’t feel like cooking.
One of my favorite meals for freezing is Lasagna Roll Ups. I got this recipe from a Contadina cook book a long time ago.
*not my picture, obviously – I have never and will never take the time to garnish our plates
Lasagna Roll Ups 1 pound Italian sausage 12 oz tomato paste* 1 2/3 cups water* 1 chopped onion 1 clove garlic (I always use more) Basil and oregano to your liking 1 egg 10 oz frozen chopped spinach 15 oz. Ricotta cheese 1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese, divided 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese 1/2 teaspoon of salt 1/4 teaspoon ground pepper 10 cooked lasagna noodles * I usually skip the tomato paste and water and use tomato sauce
Directions
1) In large skillet, crumble sausage and cook. Add onion and garlic. Cook until no longer pink. Drain.
2) Stir tomato paste, water, oregano, and basil in sausage mixture. Bring to a boil.
3) Reduce heat to simmer.
4) In medium blow, beat egg lightly. Add spinach, ricotta cheese, 1 cup mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.
5) Spread about 1/2 cup cheese mixture onto each noodle. Roll the noodle up and place seam down in baking dish.
6) Pour sauce over the rolls; top with remaining mozzarella cheese.
7) Bake in oven at 350 degrees for 30 – 40 minutes or until heated through.
Enjoy!

Yum! these look delicious 🙂
I’m sitting here at work, already hungry for lunch and I end up reading this. Ugh.
I never have and never will take the time to garnish our plates.
A woman after my own heart. That made me laugh.
This recipe sounds great! I tried to leave a comment on your (adorable) valentine mustaches from last year, but couldn’t. Thanks for linking up to my Valentine Link Party!
You always make me laugh. And these look delicious!
